Luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent will be opening a destination management company (DMC) in the US to provide ground operating services to travel advisors, tour operators, cruise lines, and meeting and incentive groups.

“There is a growing global demand for luxury experiential travel in the US,” says Jonathan White, executive vice president of destination management for Abercrombie & Kent. “We feel it is important to establish our own office in North America to guarantee the kind of insider access, personalised service and seamless attention to detail that discerning travellers expect.”

Marty Behr has been appointed managing director. He brings decades of experience in luxury travel in the US and Canada with a strong background in itinerary design, finding the best local guides and coordinating logistics.
